24 Mar 10 Long Live The Queen
I was a little shocked by the pictures when it penetrated my brain how long she’s been around.
Her Majesty gives new meaning to the phrase "Long Live the Queen"
How old does this make you feel?
Where’s the Queen and LBJ? Apparently they never met.

21 Jun 08 Ford Out, Toyota In
Ford has spent the last thirty years moving many of its factories out of the US , claiming they can’t make money paying American wages.
TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US Paying American wages.
The last quarter’s results:
TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.
Ford folks are still scratching their heads.
IF THIS WEREN’T TRUE, IT MIGHT BE FUNNY.
